With today's website deployment, you can once again save the state of an emulated game on your local drive. Just pause an emulated game, and it will give you some save slots that you can use as you desire.

Now you might actually be able to finish Ghosts & Goblins before Halloween.

What about saved games for Browser games that were saved prior to the Gametap format change?
I still don't see my "Betrayal at Krondor" saved game from 6 months ago?

We were promised these saves from prior to the format change would be restored and not lost. Now why is this taking forever to accomplish?

How have you kept your save states from before the change? :S

As long as you never uninstalled GameTap, you should have all of your old saves. If you uninstalled and reinstalled somewhere along the way, I am afraid you are out of luck.

The new uninstaller lets you keep your games / save states, but if you uninstalled with the old one that didn't then they might have gotten blown away.

Yay, glad to see Save states are back! A little hard to read the text, but not too big of a problem.

Wow, save states!! That's awesome! Now, if only my 64-bit Vista was able to play a few games...

seriously don't derail threads.

Also 64 bit vista can play all the games affected by save states! (Yay!)

awsome dude i love you all for this. one question though how do i enter the name?

oh um nevermind my god i just embarased myself
anyway i still love you all so thanks.

Awesome.
So........Will we ever be able to netplay again or do I have to keep using emulators?

From what's been said before (and I'm not staff, but I read everything so this is a good guess) netplay is going to have to be redesigned from the ground up to be feasable, so I'd imagine it's on the "long out list"
and before you say "But emulators already do it." Kindly remember that the requirments for GT are going to be signficantly higher since they'll need to make sure there are no security issues. (In the old version this was handled by not allowing direct connections between computers. Of course it didn't work that well, so I imagine they'll need a new approach.)

We used to be able to play some of the 2P games online with a remote second player, even when they were originally designed for a single console. One of the features lost in the Great Change.

so netplay did not work to well huh what happened? just curious

It never worked well IMHO I gave us using it. There was too much lag and unless you had a perfect connection it wasn't worth it. There were more than a few complaints about it on the old forums.
